Kelley Cozzolino from Bigelow Interiors has won the Las Vegas Design Center's inaugural Design of the Year award.

The local design competition ran for the first time this year to recognize excellence in design among Southern Nevada interior designers and design students.

Cozzolino was recognized for her Cottage in Cardiff remodel.

"Kelley and her team did an exceptional job of ensuring there was strong continuity throughout the home," said LVDC Vice President Randy Wells, one of the judges for the competition. "She kept the original cottage structure yet transformed the interior to ensure it was up-to-date and comfortable. This competition was created to inspire designers, and it's been inspiring to see the depth of talent in our local design community."

Seven judges, consisting of select LVDC showroom owners and managers along with World Market Center Las Vegas senior management, judged the submissions and ultimately awarded Cozzolino the grand prize during an awards luncheon last week on Thursday.

"I'm thrilled to win this competition. What an amazing experience," said Cozzolino. "I'm very passionate about design and appreciate that LVDC has pioneered this competition to pay homage to local designers."

Cozzolino received a VIP weekend for two at the Beverly Hills Hotel in Beverly Hill, Calif.
